This book sheds light on two seemingly opposing ideas: Divorce or breakups, and marriage or intact relationships. Most of it helps you cope with the heartbreak of being dumped, breaking up, going through moving out or even signing the divorce papers. It is meant to help those who have experienced this see things in a different light, and at the same time, accept what cannot be changed.
A list of suggestions is given to speed up the mourning process and not get stuck in burying deep trauma under a pile of anger or denial. The steps to mourn effectively when experiencing a loss of a relationship that hasn’t ended well, are all given, as well as warnings against traps some people tend to fall into.
The last 9 chapters of the book will deal with those who are married and would like to stay married. There is valuable advice in here about sex, communication, finances, balancing out work and free time, etc.
